Paris Hilton donates $5,000 for fan's muscular dystrophy treatment

The socialite star met Mike Oliveri in a nightclub in LA earlier this month and was so moved by his battle with muscular dystrophy that she offered him money to pay for treatment.

Oliveri posted a video message on his website after the encounter, in which he said: "I met her about a week-and-a-half ago... I just thought she was a very sweet person... We became friends and... she just sent me $5,000 and saved my life, literally."
